Okay, maybe this is just something I have a problem with but has anyone else felt like the brake pedal and gas pedal are too close together. I constantly get my foot caught up on one or the other and it causes drama. Is there any way to correct this, ie like moving them apart somehow?

I have a size 12 foot.
I thought it was just my big feet.
I always get my foot caught.
I doubt there is anything that can be done.

I have 10, but I hit because the Razo brake pedal extends towards the accelerator.

Are there other pedals out there that don't extend towards the brake, or that are smaller than stock?

I have the same problem with the pedals. I have a size 12 too. I guess they only wanted people with small feet to drive the Maxima. That isn't going to stop me though.

Come on, don't make excuses. I don't think it's the big feet that makes you caught up in the pedals. I think it's more due to coordination. Perhaps you guys should get an alignment of your own. j/k!

I don't really have that problem, maybe because I'm only a size 9. Then again, maybe I'm more coordinate than you guys.

I've got a fifteen. With the automatic I don't have any problems. Now drive a Porsche or a Viper and my feet just don't fit (I test drove the Boxster with my mom before she got the A6 and I got the privelage of starting up that Hennessey Viper the other day).

I don't get it - I have size 12s and I thought the pedals were too far apart. I had to buy aftermarket pedals to get the brake and gas close enough to heel and toe.
